If the VisibleRefFilter is enabled for a project the size of linux-2.6 (caused by a user not having read access to at least one branch in the project), the filter takes 45 seconds to produce results.

We managed to narrow it down to the visible tag computation. It walks back to the root of the project history, which can take 45 seconds for the linux kernel repository.
